HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — A 14-year-old boy accused of shooting students at an Ohio school will remain in juvenile detention under a magistrate’s instructions.
He’s charged with attempted murder, felonious assault, inducing panic and making terroristic threats. His attorney entered a denial of the charges Tuesday in Butler County juvenile court.
The boy’s ankles were shackled as he sat silently during the brief hearing. He kept his head down, reading the complaint. He was ordered to remain in custody pending a hearing April 5.
His attorney and supporters declined to comment afterward.
Authorities say the boy fired at students Monday in a Madison Local Schools cafeteria. Two students were shot, and two others were hurt. The injuries weren’t considered life-threatening.
It’s unclear whether prosecutors might seek to move the case to adult court.
